ABB Marine Academy course description

H899 - DEGO II and III electronic governor systems

Course goal
The goal of this course is to train the participants in safe
operation, troubleshooting, tuning and basic repairs of
DEGO II and III electronic governor systems and ASAC
actuators.

Learning objectives
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to
understand and identify abnormal behaviour of the DEGO
systems, locate faults in the different units, repair by
replacement, perform calibrations and make fine tunings.
They will also be able to perform basic maintenance and
repairs on ASAC actuators.
